and so another week.
tonight i am going to take dramamine for my stomach instead of reglan and see how it goes. there are a few reasons i want to get off the reglan (but still need help with my digestion) but one is that one of the side effects can be depression,and since i already experience that frequently enough,there's a good chance that this drug has made me feel worse than usual,especially in the mornings. i've never liked getting up in the morning,but i never used to feel like i just COULDN'T. on sunday,the fifth day of my work week,i felt exhausted and at 12:30 p.m. i still couldn't get out of bed. but i didn't want to be out sick,even if getting up was awful. so i called in and told them i'd be about an hour late. that's not great,but it's better than calling out.
last night i watched bill maher on larry king and found him very interesting. i had to chuckle to myself when he commented that michael phelps' time spent in a pool was worse for him than pot smoking,because chlorine is a poison. i agree with him on that. i see ads on tv for clorox wipes that are 'safe' for saving small children from,omg, germs!
i'd rather encounter germs than bleach.
which brings me to the training i had in the cafe this week. for one thing,i'm hopeless as a barista...too many damn variations and varieties of drinks themselves. doesn't stay in my brain too well. a couple of people told me i was doing fine and to give myself more credit. ha! anyway,my point is that there is constant use of this chemical sanitizing stuff which i frankly make sure i wash off my hands before eating,whereas i might not if it was just dust or newsprint,or yes,even filthy lucre which indeed does have germs. hell,germs are everywhere. and it smelled like bleach the other day. now,i know it's really important for eating establishments to be clean,but it seems to be exchanging one evil for another,whereas i think there are other alternatives. so i'm a little crunchy in that regard. i like to use baking soda or vinegar to clean at home. well,i hate cleaning anyway,but when i need to i hate chemicals. i mean harsh chemicals,as i suppose everything has a chemical composition to it. i'm no scientist,but i'm not afraid of the chemical h2o,in the right quantities,of course.
spring training started this week and i am sooo excited for baseball to start. it'll even start early this year because the world baseball classic starts in march,but of course it will be even better when the red sox are playing again. and this is why i can't live without cable. no cable equals no baseball games to watch. but my hours are cut next week at work,and basically the income i lose accounts for my food money,so that will have to come from somewhere else. and still--yet anyway--i won't let go of my cable/baseball because i have such a small life,alas.
oh yeah.i 'discovered' garrison keillor's lake wobegon show on sunday mornings and i love his storytelling,so i borrowed some cassettes from the library. wish i could buy some too. thank goodness for the library. i couldn't go today because it was closed for president's day...boo hiss!(but good for the librarians for getting a paid day off). tomorrow i am definitely making a trip to the library,though i will have less time for reading this 'weekend' because of the one day delay.
every year i send kiddy valentines to family and friends (i have two friends). but this year i just didn't have the energy. sad. so i am probably going to send belated valentines as i missed doing that. which reminds me,i've got some checks to write for bills,so i'd better get to it,as they have to go out in the mail tomorrow. gotta send in my yearly auto insurance bill,which actually went DOWN. have to pinch myself over that one,but it's probably because i turned 50. well,yay for that!
